Main description:

This book provides a practical guide to the pathogenesis of common cardiac complications among senior total joint arthroplasty (TJA) patients. It features extensive guidance on how to use anatomical markers from advanced cardiovascular imaging modalities to determine potential high- and low-risk patients. There is extensive guidance to surgical orthopaedic professionals on the cardiovascular considerations within this patient group, while cardiologists are presented with the unique features of this surgery to cardiac management,
Managing Cardiovascular Risk In Elective Total Joint Arthroplasty comprehensively details the available techniques for dealing with cardiac challenges encountered during TJA. It provides a valuable resource for all medical professionals involved in treating these patients and for medical trainees seeking to develop their understanding of this newly created field of medicine.
